Shifts to cage-free eggs

9 Sep, 2015

The company says that it will transition 16,000 restaurants in the U.S. and Canada over a period of ten years to eggs that come from chickens that aren’t confined to cages. McDonald’s currently buys about 2.12 billion eggs annually in the U.S. and Canada, including just 13 million cage-free eggs.

Our customers are increasingly interested in knowing more about their food and where it comes from. Our decision to source only cage-free eggs reinforces the focus we place on food quality and our menu to meet and exceed our customers’ expectations.
